Water Altar
July 07, 2011
This reactive audio/visual installation is the first of a new series of works exploring ideas of Sacred Computing- spiritual and religious experience as mediated (or interrupted) by digital technology.. A mystic altar, constructed around the element of Water, serves as a focal point for the viewer’s spiritual experience. The centerpiece of the altar is an [...]

Symphony at TED 2011
March 06, 2011
I was privileged to work on an interactive exhibit that was shown at last week’s TED 2011 Conference. The exhibit- part of the GE Imaginarium- brought me, Patrick Lichty, and Dr. Joseph Cancellaro together with Sub Rosa Interactive Design. The exhibit features a GUI projected on a screen behind a plexiglass model of a house, [...]

Columbia College Tuition Increases- Visualized
February 04, 2011
Earlier today, I got an email from Columbia College Chicago president, Dr. Warrick L. Carter. The letter was a heads-up regarding tuition increases for the 2011-2012 academic year (about 5% for undergrads, 7.5% for graduate students). It doesn’t really affect me, since I graduate in May. But there was something about the letter that made [...]

Boing Boing Headline Wall
January 30, 2011
Recently, BoingBoing compiled eleven years worth of posts into one giant XML file and released it into the wild. I wanted to try to have a bit of fun with the data. Overwhelmed with the sheer scope of the data, I wanted to convey this sense of scope visually with a sort of Wall of [...]

Feed (Alpha)
December 29, 2010
Feed is an interactive data visualization piece developed in Processing. My first foray into data journalism, the piece compares and contrasts different models of food distribution. Using my neighborhood (Edgewater, on Chicago’s Far North Side) as an anchor, I highlight three distribution models- a local co-op, a regional CSA service, and a national supermarket chain- [...]

Dada.RSS
December 28, 2010
Dada.RSS is an application I developed in Processing. The app creates Dadaist poetry, similar to the method Tristan Tzara popularized. But where Tzara cut up bits of newspaper and tossed them into a hat to be drawn at random, the app pulls in data from the RSS feed for BBC News and generates compositions from [...]

Slit Image Painting
November 28, 2010
Further exploration into Glitch Painting. Using Processing, I took this image and rendered it similar to slit-scan video. The result is an time-based sliced painting that fills in more detail over time, but never quite enough to regain the fidelity of the original. You can find the sketch and source code here.

Resample Painting
This is part of an exploration into Glitch Painting. Using Processing, I analyze the pixels in this image. I then take the pixels, shake them up, and assign them out of order to a new image (which is then drawn). The results are evocative of Pollack. I’m continuing to work on refining the technique. You [...]

Eeyore
September 09, 2010
I took my first sip of 3am greasy spoon coffee. Lukewarm, unpleasantly bitter, manufactured rather than crafted. I’ve worked in specialty coffee for too long, and I’m long past the point of being able to tolerate- much less enjoy- diner coffee. A sickly warm trail snaked its way down into my core, dulled only by [...]
